Yep — we are giving you a sneak peak into things like a typical day in our life, special or fun outings, or photos that show all of you what parenting looks like for us. Basically, we are keeping it real!

There are a lot of really wonderful posts here that show that even though we blog about our parenting ideals, we really are just regular mamas, getting by one day at a time! So enjoy seeing a typical day in the trenches!

Lauren at Hobo Mama shows what unschooling looks like in her house through Meetups and play dates. Far from staying indoors or isolated, you can find Lauren or Sam and their kids out at one or other fun and educational activity several times a week. You can also find Hobo Mama on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google +.
